Before Ella was born I wasn't sure how I would spend my days once she was here. When I thought of my days I couldn't imagine how I would be completely satisfied staying home and hanging out with an infant who couldn't speak back and that needed her diapers changed. In the back of my mind I wondered if I wouldn't get a little bored staying home. I wasn't sure how other mothers stayed home and wondered if I could do it.
Since Ella was born I have been anything but bored. I love being with her. I can spend a long time just looking at her face and watching her observe her world and learn from it. She is sucking her fingers now which I find the most amazing thing. A year ago I didn't think a thing about sucking fingers and now I look forward to her doing it. I also love the sound of her laugh. I am not sure if it is technically a real laugh, but it sounds like it and it is adorable. This morning after she ate at 5:30 she spent about a half an hour laughing at the slates in her crib. They must have been real funny! There are a lot of funny things in Ella's world right now. She laughs a lot and I love it. I love a lot of things about her and I would take far too long to list them all.
Some times Ella's hair is a little crazy. She has more hair then most babies her age and after nursing it can be crazy. This is such a time.
When we were shopping for Ella's room, Ben found this for her wall. He found it very appropriate for her since she has been given to us by God. Ella has found the sign very funny. It is just above her changing table and every time I put her on the table to change her or dress her she looks up at the sign and laughs. A friend of mine said the other day that she thinks when her babies look into no where that there are angels watching them and they are laughing at the angels. I wonder if she is right.
